Programme Note:The title of this piece – which means ‘you will fall with me’ – is taken from sonnet 15 of Pablo Neruda’s 100 Love Sonnets. It is about existence and non-existence, and the continuity between them. I wrote it in the immediate aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, returning to familiar words in a time of uncertainty, trying to focus on the new life which inevitably springs up after death.
